French Tomatoes Recipe ingredients

To prepare this French Tomatoes Recipe, first scald and peel 6 small tomatoes of the solid-meated kind; the peach or Italian tomatoes are nice for this way of cooking. Make a cream sauce by rubbing together 1 tablespoonful of butter and 1 of flour; add 1 cupful of hot milk, and stir over the fire until boiling; add salt and pepper to taste; add only 1 drop or 2 of onion juice, and just a dash of celery salt. Put 1 tablespoonful of the sauce in the bottom of a ramakin or custard cup, then drop in a tomato and cover with the sauce. Sprinkle over the top bread crumbs seasoned well with butter. Stand the cups in a pan containing boiling water and bake half an hour in a moderately hot oven. Serve hot in the cups, placed on a small plate.
